Dietary Polyphenols and Risk of Breast Cancer in a Predominantly Low-Income Population: A Prospective Analysis in the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS).

In this predominantly low-income U.S. population, intakes of total polyphenol and phenolic acids were associated with reduced risk of BC among those with ER+ and PR+ BC type, postmenopausal, and overweight/obese female individuals.

Enhancing Nutrition and Obesity Research Collaborations Across Institutions: Lessons from a North Carolina Focus Group.

To promote mutually beneficial research collaborations between PWIs and HBCUs and, ultimately, to promote diversity among investigators in nutrition and obesity research, awareness must be drawn to the barriers to success in these relationships. It is imperative that institutions have conversations surrounding resources, research capacity, and expectations upon entering such research collaborations.

Structural alterations of individual hypothalamic nuclei in young females with obesity and anorexia nervosa: an in vivo 7-T MRI study.

Weight-related disorders are associated with significant micro and macrostructural alterations in HT nuclei involved in eating behaviors.

Antigen-driven expansion of public clonal T cell populations in inflammatory bowel diseases.

These antigens differ between CD and UC. CD, particularly ileal CD, also seems to involve more substantial changes in clonal population structure than UC, compared to healthy controls.

Comparative real-world effectiveness of ustekinumab versus anti-TNF in Crohn's disease: 12-month maintenance phase results from the prospective, observational RUN-CD study using propensity score adjustment.

However, among week-16 responders, CR rates were significantly higher with UST. Additionally, UST was associated with a significantly greater improvement in QoL compared to anti-TNF.

Effect of tofacitinib exposure in utero and during breastfeeding on the immune status of exposed child.

This case suggests that prolonged prenatal and postnatal exposure to tofacitinib may not adversely affect infant immune development. However, caution is advised due to the limited number of documented cases. Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term implications of JAK inhibitor exposure during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The use of International Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS-SAS) in patients with ulcerative colitis: applicability and comparison with other ultrasound scores.

The IBUS-SAS has an optimal performance in the assessment of UC endoscopic activity, despite having been initially developed for CD. Therefore, it might be adopted as reference score both for CD and UC activity.

Liver Transpl

Decompensated cirrhosis but low MELD - should we wait or refer for liver transplantation?

In this review, our goal is to present the frequency of patients listed for transplant with low MELD, and the limitation of using MELD in patients for liver transplantation. We will provide practical guidance on the management of common complications of cirrhosis and early consideration for liver transplant referral in patients with clinical decompensation and low MELD.

Optimizing liver transplant candidacy in patients with cirrhosis and obesity.

Despite this rise in obesity, the optimal management strategies in the pretransplant, peri-transplant, and post-transplant phases of care have not yet been determined. In the current review, we will present and discuss the available evidence for the surgical management of obesity, including the optimal timing, as well as a review of the novel medical therapies and how these strategies may best be utilized to provide ideal long-term outcomes for liver transplant patients with obesity.

Optimizing the mouse orthotopic liver transplantation model: Learning curve, technical enhancements, and keys to success.

The entire procedure can be completed within 80 minutes. We believe these technical improvements will provide more practical guidance for mouse liver transplantation.

Thigh muscle index as a valuable prognostic marker in middle-aged male patients undergoing liver transplantation.

SMIUT in the postoperative period also better reflected clinical status. Therefore, pre- and postoperative SMIUT is helpful for patient assessment and ongoing management in LT patients.

Pancreas

Influence on Postoperative Results and Cost-effectiveness of Using Cyanoacrylate Glue for Pancreaticojejunal Anastomosis After Duodenopancreatectomy.

The use of synthetic cyanoacrylate glue to reinforce the PJA in patients undergoing PD, under the conditions studied, improved clinical postoperative results and hospitalization costs which justifies expanding studies, especially in circumstances of greater risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula.

The Effectiveness of Additional Hydration for Hyperamylasemia After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.

Additional hydration for patients with hyperamylasemia after ERCP reduced the incidence of moderate or severe PEP without a risk of volume overload.

Pancreatology

Neutrophil-to-apolipoprotein A1 ratio predicted the efficiency of chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic cancer.

NEAPO levels were significantly associated with OS, PFS and treatment response in APC patients who underwent chemotherapy and might be a useful biomarker for predicting chemotherapy efficacy.
